The Majesty and Beauty of Spiritual Architecture

As I briefly mentioned in my last blog post, before I get to the details of the sights that we just saw during our February 2021 “Southern Trip”, I still have a few blogs to write about the “Heartland” trip that we took in 2020; mostly blogs that aggregate several sites from a specific category into a single blog. Today’s blog is about the Churches and Cathedrals that we saw during our travels.
 
During our 30-day, 9376 mile, road trip to see more of America we visited numerous Churches and Cathedrals to include:
​
  • Washington Island Stavkirke - Washington Island, WI
  • Holy Hill Basilica and National Shrine - Hubertus, WI
  • Saint Boniface Church - New Vienna, IA
  • Cathedral of Saint Paul - St. Paul, MN
  • Independence Temple - Independence, MO

The architecture of these Churches and Cathedrals was amazing and speak to the grandeur of what humans can build when they are motivated by a higher calling (click on any photo to start the slideshow):
